The Trip...Part 2

I can't begin to describe how much we all loved Disneyland! We've always wanted to take our kids to Disney (Land or World...we didn't care, we just wanted to see one of them) but we didn't think it was going to happen anytime soon. We were so excited when Nathan found out he had a company meeting in Carlsbad, CA! Our immediate thought was Lego Land...Graham is CRAZY obsessed with Legos. We didn't even realize how close we were going to be to Disney until about two days before we left. Disneyland was a total last minute decision and we are so HAPPY that we went. I'd go back tomorrow if I could...I might not drive there but I'd be thrilled to go again! FABULOUS and MAGICAL!!!! LOVED IT!!!

Charlie: "I will not be photographed without my Mickey ears!"

Charlie saw kids with Mickey ears while we were walking towards the park. He immediately knew he NEEDED them. He was determined to find them right away! He wore them ALL DAY long! It was adorable. There's nothing like seeing a three year old at Disney. He was so into it. I thought the older two were going to love it and he was going to get tired and cranky. The older two did love it but he was by far the most enamored by it all. He never got cranky (once he got his ears) and he was so fascinated all day.

Charlie was all about meeting the characters!

Nora with her "least favorite" princess. Nora was very congenial to Jasmine despite the fact that she finds her "freaky."

Belle is her favorite so we were so excited to see her!!

We stumbled upon a meeting with Mickey after touring his house. The sign on the door said he was away so we were SO HAPPY to find him at the end of our tour. Unfortunately, it was a dark room and I was so surprised to see him that I didn't get a lot of great pictures. I love this one though!
We were one of the first families there and we stayed until Tinkerbelle flew and the fireworks were over. We feel so blessed that we got to go...these will be some of my favorite memories for sure.
